Episode Details

Britain faces a looming crisis as a “lost generation” of young people aged sixteen to twenty-four struggles to enter education, employment, or training—957,000 are already stuck. Former minister Alan Milburn warns the system is failing them, not because of lack of effort, but because the societal contract is broken: young people apply relentlessly but rarely get responses, and basic steps like driving or accessing transport are blocked by disability and infrastructure gaps. The government admits it “cannot afford to lose a generation,” pledging cross-sector collaboration, while opposition calls for business-friendly reforms. Milburn insists this isn’t youth failure—it’s systemic collapse—and urgent, bold action is needed before this detachment becomes permanent.
